The same number will be present Monday night, it is said. Organ Recital Tonight, The doors of the Congregational church will be thrown open this eve- ning at 7 o'clock to what will prob- ably be the largest gathering of people thuat has ever attended an organ rc-[ cital in Plainville.

Prutting has much before the public that little need be said of his mastery in his profession, He led the Hartford Phil- harmonic Orchestra until that body was dissolved and. at present holds a high position In Hartford musical circles. John Dowd, the vocalist who will assist Mr. Prutting has on many occasions sung in New Britain and his capabilities are well known throughout the state. Visitors will be present from Hart- ford, New Britain, Southington, Bris- tol and many other towns and cities around Plainville.
